I do wish the database connection issues would be concluded with resolution instead of always being taken offline...these threads aren't helpful if there's no final documented resolution detail ;)
I too am trying to establish a db for PowerCMS app on one of my godaddy servers and seem to be failing with a unresponsive replay after entering credentials..server: localhost, database_name, user-name, password
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE on a blank browser window is the only result...
